LED headlights on cars and LED lights in general.
Salary pay.
Forced overtime. I don't give a shit I'm getting paid more.
Calling mayonnaise aioli.
Charging additional money for your food because you call your mayonnaise aioli or any other bullshit fancy words to exotisize your dish.
The Korean War for inflicting Korean army stew (Budae Jjigae) and other culinary disasters upon the Korean people.
Alcohol in mouthwash when we were younger
Houses who's house numbers are hard to see from the street while driving before the advent of our Google overlords releasing maps.
Calvinists and any of their ideological descendants.
Lawn maintenance
Dust build up on surfaces in homes.
Mosquitoes
The fourth earl of sandwich for making sandwiches etymologically synonymous with his title. God damn English noblility.
Immanuel Kant
Potholes in the road
Americanized Chinese food.
Fucking yum yum sauce.
A lack of actual ethnic foods from around the world in the U.S across the U.S.
The Sweds for the abomination of subjecting mackerels to being tinned in cans with tomato sauce.
Cities where its businesses and public centers do not have bathrooms for the public, like Seattle.
What about the rest of the car? Terrible invention. Ruins planets.
If you want me to give your "aioli" any respect, then it better be: vegan (no eggs or any other kind of binding agent), so garlicky it makes me vampire-proof, and made with pungent and spicy southern Spanish oil.
Fuck off with your runny, shitty mayo.
One singular time. That's how often I've seen a restaurant have both Alioli (Spanish, vegan) and Aioli (French, not vegan), and the pretentious font and italics the menu used made it difficult to see, and 98% of people would have assumed it was a typo anyway.
I personally blame the French for adding eggs to Spanish alioli and taking out the first L.
Kant is a bit out of left field lol, but I agree, fuck Kant
He had the categorical imperative to measure skulls and insert humans into racial hierarchies.
Tldr goog kant race theory
Yeah I hate Kant for multiple reasons, too. It was just funny to have a bunch of very mundane, everyday things to hate, and then Immanuel Kant.
Yeah he's also a fucking nerd
Not to mention he literally endorses snitching because you shouldn't lie. Fuck off.
See? He doesn't get as much hate as he deserves.
I should do more philosophers
Most famous philosophers were bastards.
based, we immanent in this house, take your transcendent critique back to liberalism
Salary pay is awesome if you get overtime, which I understand is not the case in The Burger Reich. But in
for example you get time and a half pay for extra hours worked, and it's nice not having to clock/log your hours all the damned time.
Everybody and their moms complain about LED headlights. It’s a really handy dialectic than what they think actually doesn’t matter in the market or our so called liberal democracy.
It's a plot by big bulb to make more profits off of forcing obsolescence on an entire perfectly finely lit world by cramming it full of lethal junk that's easier to manufacture to fail at planned times, cheaper to make, but easier to price gouge on! The auto and insurance companies are in on it too! More taxpayer spending to line their pockets making "safer" cars while profiting off of people getting injured because of unsafe lighting conditions caused by their devil lights by sucking the blood of the innocent with jacked up prices for being blinded by the devils lights and causing harm then being denied for coverage by the tight-fisted insurance kulaks!
More that LEDs enable designs and bazinga sales tactics that appeal to the lowest common demonitor of first time car buyers. The kind who think they need to invest in a potential lighthouse.
It's probably something that is very easy to fix. Like manditory adjustments of the LEDs and some sort of software update to crank down the lumens or whatever. But that requires actual regulation that our politics are too weak to enforce. It's partciular fustrating because much of the complaints is this crash-out rheotric where you end up wasting alot of time with people who have no interest in engaging with the issue but expect you to be their therapist.
Incredible list
They still put alcohol in mouth wash.
not as much as it used to be, around 40 proof if I remember. It was already traumatic enough as is for me to accidentally get a mouthful of whiskey when I was three, but having to do something similar as a part of the cleansing ritual from a young age should get shat on
LED headlights when aimed properly are amazing. LED headlights when aimed poorly are the devil. Also fuck trucks with their high ass headlights that are blinding even at a reasonable following distance.
But I'd like to add that LED bulbs in halogen housings aka "poverty beams" should be made 200% illegal. If you commit this heinous act just go straight to the gulag. Halogen housings don't have the sharp cutoff needed for LED headlights, and pair that with the type of person to do this not being the type to aim the headlights properly and they're a legit hazard to the roads.
I will endure being called a fucking luddite for the rest of human history if it means banning LEDs from the earth.
What's wrong with LEDs?
Punishes every oncoming driver for the crime of being born with eyes
They're evil objects
There isn't a better way to illuminate something
i'd rather stare at the sun
